Ravi's MK1 Leon- on the road to stance Airlift V2 lowss

[RaviR50]

so i've been on the forum for a while but not started up a RR yet. The time has come!

I got my 130tdi completely standard peppered with stone chips, but it was a good buy and its much much better than the mk2 clio i had as my first car.

2004 130tdi Leon
Black Magic
127k miles on the clock
good service history

At first i was thinking sort of a star wars theme of red and black (darth vader style) so on went the stickers

then i felt the presence of the dark side... so obviously the red started

in the meantime i ordered up a new head unit, while that was out i took to spraying the the console surround red to match the gaiter and added a bit of carbon fibre to the facia. Later i also wrapped the ash tray

next i got a honeycombe grill off ebay and took the cans to that too.

later i wrapped the S

In went some red LEDs

then i took some rattle cans to the engine cover

TBC

ok next i got some new bulbs off ebay, xenon look ones

Debadged it

then i found out about a place called monsterwraps, got them to tint my lights with fly eye and wrap my filler flap. This is when the snow camo craze started

also took the time to get the fabia rear wiper on. what a great mod works soooo much better than the standard, id reccomend it to everyone. wrapped the rear badge in carbon too

Got myself this lovely little addition. Mint condition with everying on in on it fogs and all. just had to get the guides off dave at sere motors. gonna get it resprayed by a family friend

Gave it a good machine polish at the body shop, ive been offered by the guy at the body shop to do it all myself like the spraying and stuff to keep the cost down

Got some lovely HEKO wind deflectors too

thought id see what a tow strap could look like on PFL

 

[RaviR50]

id fitted some proper HIDs too, 6000k

mines the left one, i thought the 8000k was too blue for me

swapped the red LEDs for some nice superbright white ones

Got some new stickers on it

then came the spraying of the bumper, bonnet and wings

 

[RaviR50]

FINALLY got my roof wrapped in snow camo. I like it but haters gonna hate

yeah i think i prefer the cupra one too, i havent actually got round to fitting it yet. i was gonna do it today but the body shop was closed and the roads were too icy. Next weekend for sure though

 

[BigJase88]

It will make one hell of a difference thats for sure

 

[RaviR50]

for sure mate, im considering just keeping the cupra bumper and getting rid of the rub strips on the rest of the car

 

[BigJase88]

Is there not holes under them? I think there is on the leon...

 

[RaviR50]

yeah there is, id have to get them smoothed out but i think it will look a lot better

 

[RaviR50]

So i got a set of 6000k LEDs to replace the halogen fogs in the new bumper over the weekend. Cant wait to fit it, gonna be soo much better. hopefully got a few more bits arriving sometime this week

Also love how this car is coming along dude.

haha you pretty much got it all in one lol hopefully next i'll be lowering then a remap and some wheels Yeah ive gotten a quote to basically get rid of all the red stuff (stereo, gaiter and engine cover) to all get wrapped in the camo, its quite expensive though cos the wrap needs to be reprinted smaller

 

[benj1989]

[RaviR50]
